Transaction Sources

Transaction sources identify the source of transactions that you import into Oracle Fusion Project Costing. You control transaction import and processing by specifying transaction source, document, and document entry options.

Project Transaction Sources, Documents, and Document Entries

  • Transaction sources represent source applications (such as Oracle Payables or PeopleSoft Payroll) or channels (such as external time entry systems) from which Oracle Projects can accept project cost transactions.
  • Documents represent transactions (such as expense reports or interproject invoices) that emanate from a transaction source, and can be imported into Project Costing.
  • Document entries in a transaction source document are associated with expenditure type classes. This association ensures that Project Costing knows how to work with that transaction. For example, a document entry of expenditure type class of Straight Time identifies that cost as labor-related. This means that the cost must be associated with a person.

Thus, each transaction source can have multiple documents, and each document can have multiple document entries. For more information, see How Source, Document, and Document Entry Components Work Together.

Transaction sources can be classified into two categories:

  • Predefined sources

  • Third-party application sources

Predefined Sources

Oracle Fusion Project Costing provides a set of predefined transaction sources that you can use to import transactions from other Oracle Fusion applications. The following table lists these predefined sources and their associated documents.

Third-Party Application Sources

You can define additional transaction sources to import transactions from non-Oracle applications. For example, you can define the transaction source Payroll to identify expenditure items imported from an external payroll system. Similarly, you can create documents for a specific transaction source and document entries for a specific document.
